Hi, I just want to ask if the HP NB 14-AM070TU has a kensington lock slot?

A:Kensington Lock Slot

Yes,It has a security slot that will work with the Kensington security lock devices. See page 5 of the following user guide at the URLchrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05114176

Looks easy to install; and break off as well. All one needs are steel cutters, or even a garden sheer. But ifcoursestudents wouldnt cut the cord in a college library; nor would they raise a desk to swipe the laptop and run off with cables attached.

I was hoping for a way to lock the laptop, but I guess a metal safe is the best option.

Hello. For the Ideapad 510S (14"), does it have a Kensington Mini Security Slot or a Kensington Security Slot?Thank you.

A:Kensington slot for Ideapad 510S

Good day and welcome to the community.

According to: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideapad_310s-14ast_310s-14isk_510s-14isk_ug_en_2016... , manual page 5, there is a Kensington mini security slot at the rear of the left side of the laptop.

Dear community, I've just bought a Yoga 500, which seems to be a very nice tablet/notebook. However, my old (standard) Kensington locks simply don't work! These are the classic T-head locks. The key cannot be turned. I've just tried a HP UltraSlim lock, which has a different type of head, but it is also unusable, the lock cannot be activated (the push button cannot be pushed in enough to activate the lock)This is the cable:https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/0cfc8a3d-0bb2-4d44-af95-b33fe239cb57_1.9f1eb857864400ee8fe2a7435274... Is there a compatible security cable for this machine at all? Thanks in advance!

A:Question about PCI-e slot below dual slot video card

My opinion ...

Yes, setting up like that will have an impact. The air flow to your GPU will be restricted so it will more than likely run hotter than it did. It may still stay withing recommended specs, but it will run hotter.

The motherboard has onboard sound (Realtek® ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC ), any particular reason why you don't use that? Onboard sound is perfectly good for gaming and the like now, its not like older machines where you needed a dedicated card for decent quality. In my opinion, you only need a dedicated card if you are doing a lot of detailed audio work (mixing, remastering and other specific audio work). This would totally remove the issue.

This is the strangest thing I've seen in the past years of using computers I have an Acer Aspire - laptop that came with windows but I'm very picky and I wanted Windows xp back so I went onto Acer's website and won't mouse USB slot USB first other in works any slot, in only work but USB downloaded all of the windows xp drivers and then formatted the laptop to Windows XP with intergrated Service Pack The computer works just fine except for one very strange oddity - the USB mouse I'm using only works when plugged into the first USB slot it will refuse to work in the other USB slots I'm using a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer USB which is my favorite mouse and I USB mouse only works in first USB slot, but won't work in any other USB slot have of them at home When I was formatting the laptop USB mouse only works in first USB slot, but won't work in any other USB slot I had the mouse plugged into the first USB slot and now that is the ONLY slot it will work in If I plug it into the other usb slots the red laser will come on which means it's getting power but it will not move the cursor and clicking either of the mouse buttons won't do anything When I have the Device Manager open and I plug the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer mouse into the first USB slot the 'Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer ' entry will appear in BOTH the 'Human Interface Devices' tab and also the 'Mice and other pointing devices' tab However when plugging the mouse into the other usb slots the 'Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer ' entry will only appear in the 'Human Interface Devices' but NOT the 'Mice and other pointing devices' tab I could just go about my business using the first usb slot for the mouse but this little strange problem is pissing me off hugely as I might want to switch the mouse to another USB slot based on how I have the laptop positioned on a desk or other surface I should also note that the 'Human Interface Devices' tab has a 'HID compliant device' entry in it that isn't present on my desktop computer and my mouse works on any of the usb slots on my desktop computer I wonder if this is the problem I tried disabling this entry but it doesn't help any A final point to note is that I have many other usb devices such as flash memory sticks camera card readers external harddrives gps devices and they all work perfectly fine no matter which usb slot they are plugged into Very strange indeed Is there anyway to make my mouse work in any of the other USB slots

A:USB mouse only works in first USB slot, but won't work in any other USB slot

Hi NukesGoBoom,

I have seen a similar problem, but it was all USB ports that weren't working.

First, check the BIOS to make sure all USB ports are enabled, which they probably are.

Are all drivers installed and up to date? Do any yellow question marks or exclamation points show up in Device Manager?

hi there,i need to know which know which graphic card will fit for my computer. Ie i want to know which type: DDR ,DDR1 or ddr2 i bought my computer in 2007, but thats not enough to tell.so please let me know how do i know which pci slot i have?

A:which graphic card slot do i require for my PCI slot

The type of memory doesn't matter, its the type of interface the computer supports among a few other things to watch for.

You likely have a PCI-Express slot, as long as it a x16 slot it doesn't really matter if its a version 1.1 or 2.0 slot.

Is this for your Dell or another computer? Whats you budget and what needs do you have for the video card?

How old is this computer that it doesn't have a PCI slot? Those have been around for quite a while. Are you sure it doesn't have one? Even AGP is not new technology.

EDIT: After seeing your other thread, are you asking if you can purchase an AGP or PCI video card? That's a totally different question, and the answer would be yes depending on which slot your motherboard has. How much it costs depends on what you plan to use the computer for. A simple one is cheap, and high-end gaming cards can get expensive.

Here is a link to the service manual....you have to download the three parts, one at a time...click on 0 then 1 then 2 ...you end up with 3 rar files...Hope you know what to do with then ...if not google or ask

Pg 79 of the manual mentions something about a mini pci card ...Do you have wireless lan ?? If you don't this is where it would go....

Alright I just got an Acer G off of one of my father s work buddies whos wife works for Acer I got it for dollars because the monitor that it came with was basically smashed during shipping Its all good though I have a quot LCD monitor anyway The computer specs basically are GHz Pentium with MB of ram and an GB hard drive with integrated MX graphics or something of the sort I was exploring the BIOS and saw some overclocking options too which is pretty cool Anyway on to the question I opened up the case and saw an empty brown slot at the top of the row of PCI slots Its offset back by an inch or so and is about inches long just like an slot! Name this AGP slot The only thing it does not have is a little holder clip thing to hold the card in place like I ve seen on a lot of Name this slot! other systems Other then that it looks like any other AGP slot Today I went up into the attic and grabbed my old dusty Radeon se to put in there until christmas when I got money to buy more RAM and a good AGP graphics card When I went to put the card in it wouldnt fit I couldnt get it to snap into place it seemed like the card still needed to go half an inch more foward to slip into the slot Is this a different kind of AGP slot x or something or might it be a totally different type of slot nbsp

A:Name this slot!

Can you Post a Picture? Is there a plastic divider in this slot? If so is it closer to the front or the back? Is the slot the same length as an AGP?

Have an eMachine T2615 MOBO L7VMM2 with onboard video. Have Windows XP SP2. Purchased a game card ATI Radeon X1600 Pro (256 MB).
Installed the drivers but the pc will not pick up same. Went into BIOS and there was no mention of disabling the onboard video, thinking this was the problem.
Went to CPU-Z and under Mainboard the Graphics Interface containing AGP info was greyed out. The fact that the pc came with an onboard video makes me suspect that a driver is needed for AGP slot. Any ideas? Thanks.

A:AGP Slot ?

The BIOS should have something about setting the video priority. The on-board VGA will be listed as PCI. You should be able to set this to AGP.

hey guy i have a question to, my computer has a space for the apg slot, but no slot. like it says "apg slot" but theres no connector there. is there anything i can do about this? any help would be appritiated.

A:AGP Slot????

Hi and welcome to TSG!

I have split your post off into your own thread. In the future if you have a Question/Problem please start a "New Thread". It get's too confusing trying to address two different people's problem in the same thread and you may get overlooked.

I have an inexpensive motherboard that is about 1.5 years old that the AGP slot has gone bad in. When I say gone bad, it's that the contacts in the slot have widened out and no longer works. I know that this is the problem because if you are lucky enough to actually get it to work, then slightly move the card, it goes dead. My question is if I buy a PCI video card will that work? I have three open PCI slots. This is all due to financial reasons. I can buy another motherboard, but then I'd have to buy another power supply because this one is a 20 pin and almost all of them nowadays are 24 pin. The computer is only used for going online and nothing more. It's my parent's computer. So do you think a PCI video card would work? Thanks in advance...

A:AGP Slot Gone Bad

Yep, it will work. The only catch might be you'd have to set your BIOS for a PCI video card rather than AGP, but it should even autodetect. Hopefully you are correct that it is just a widened slot, in my expierence if something on a motherboard dies, other things are going to follow.

I'm about to buy the ABIT AT7-MAX2 in order to start playing with overclocking world (and probably caused severe dents in my pocket at the same time as things go overtemp )) The new mobo has an 8x AGP slot. I have a GF4Ti4600. Am I right to assume that the 8x slot won't make an ounce of difference to the overall performance due to the fact the card was designed with 4x in mind?

Does anyone know if ABIT's allow the locking of the PCI/AGP frequencies?

I've bought a Lenovo ideapad y700 15isk it comes only with a 1tb hdd,no M.2 sdd or the standard sddI've got two questions1- I know that I can replace the 1tb with an ssd but what options do I have and what models are compatible?2- the more important question, what about the m.2 ssd do I have a slot for it in my laptop because I've read in forum that the 1tb hdd model lacks it?a help with a reply would be much appreciated.Thank you in forward.

Trying to Overclock i think i fried ram slot 1 - I tried using 4 different sets (all matching) in slot 1 and 3 - nothing would get a good post (sigh) However in good news the ram stick that was in the slot is still good =o)

However, I tried booting with ram in slot 2 and 4 - but nothing would get a good post - is there a way to do it - rather than just running ONE stick in slot 3?

Base K Memory Failure Hi there This is my first post on TechSpot I hope that I can offer some good advice as well as request it Right now though I am in a spot of bother Today I went to a clients house to fix his computer Everything was fine I just had to install a new ram So ahead I went but the card would not fit so I forced it a little Later I realised I had forced a SDR Ram into A DDR Slot Not good I know Then I took it out so that I was back to the original configuration Now the computer won t even boot onto the A Drive or even get as far as display the BIOS It just keep emitting a beep noise Arrrgggghhhh My questions is would the above result in a fried motherboard or a fried ram card I was going to buy a new DDR tommorrow and hopefully just swap it over but I can t think of any logical reason that the existing one won t work Any or all info on the subject would be appreciated Thanks in advance djdj nbsp

A:SDR Ram in DDR Slot

Since you say you forced it into the slot, you might have created small cracks in the mobo which may be the reason for the problem...
Or you might have fried the board as you say.

Either of those will result in a dead board.

But you might be lucky. Try taking out every card, cable & al from the mobo, then reseat the mobo in the case, and try to boot with as few components installed as possible (ie. cpu, vid.card and ram). And try switching the slots the ram is in...

WOW, I guess I need to learn some more about Video Cards..I'm in dispute, can an Nvidia board, accept ATI cards as long as its the same slot.Lets say I have GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLIcan I add, this GPU VisionTek 900196 Radeon HD 2400PRO 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card

A:PCI slot x16

Nvidia and ATI are just the makers of the GPU chipset. Basically Intel and AMD.

If you have PCIe Slot on your motherboard, you should be able to use whatever card you want. I am running an Nvidia GTS450 on my ATI chipset mainboard.

So to start out, I am a complete computer novice. I know very little about computer's hardware and whatnot so please take it slow. Anywho, I've been searching for a new graphics card so I can play some newer games. My computer always exceedes minimum, and often recommended, requirements for the games except in the field of a graphics card. I currently have a Radeon 9200 128mb in my AGP slot. With this in mind, I have been searching for other cards for AGP but have run into the question of how one can identify what kind of AGP slot one has, as in 8x, 4x, etc. as well as if this matters. So if someone can help me figure out what kind of slot I have that would be great.

Any card recomendations are appreciated as well, I have around a 200$ spending limit.

Thanks,
EclipseOTO

A:AGP Slot help

You can web search/download CPU-Z. This small program has a tab that identifies what AGP slot your system has (2x, 4x, 8x) and AGP 2.0 or 3.0 standards supported.

If your system is even semi-modern, you likely have at least an AGP 4x slot, whereas 99% of today's AGP cards will work in either AGP 4x or 8x slots.

More importantly will likely be your power supply. You likely have a very wide upgrade path available to you, only reduced by your budget, but newer 3d cards do draw significantly more power. I'd recommend cracking your case and looking at your power supply for the sticker to see what top wattage it's rated at and if it has info on the voltage rails vs. amperage. It's important what amperage the 12v rail has and top wattage (example: 350W power supply with [email protected]).

How can i tell if my agp slot is working or if it burned out. I had my case open and moved my monitor and it pulled my card out of the agp slot and it hasnt worked since . I am now using a ATI Radeon 7000 for now. Is there any kind of test to see if its burned out? Thanks

I purchased an AGP card for a game. After installing the eMachine T2615 (MOBO L7VMM2) would not pick up same. I was told that eMachines use a proprietory AGI standard. So my question concerns the physical layout of an AGI stadard. Will an AGP card fit into an AGI slot or is AGI a standard and not a slot? Thanks.

I bought oblivion and I was going to get a new graphics card because mine can't run it. (Mine is an integrated Intel 86825G). So I took it to the computer guy up the road and he was all ready to put in the new card but when he opened the tower he said that my computer has no AGP slot. He said that the only way I can run oblivion is to replace my motherboard and get one that has an AGP slot - which I can't afford to do. My computer is pretty good (other than this) and it would be a shame to replace it just for this one thing.

Is there anything else I can do? I don't know - maybe there's some kinda adapter or something?

Hello All,Been quite some time since I wrote last to you and I hope I have this in the correct place.This is what happened to me this morning. I was going to put my Windows 98 cd-rom in the slot (and did) but I'd forgotten I had one in there, so I shut the door and it started whirring and wheezing and then it just stopped making noise, so I guess the cd-rom is someplace in my computer.Can someone tell me what to do? Please remember that I'm an ol' grandma and don't know about the "insides" of the computer but my hubby tried to see if we could find it and took the cover off the case; couldn't see it. Do you think it's somewhere in where the slot is? I opened the door and didn't see anything.Would be grateful for any help.

Ok, I'm thinking about buying this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Veng.../dp/B008E3M4TU) for my PC, I have already got both the blue slots filled. So which one do I put my new slot in to? 1,2,3 or 4 (2 and 4 are available)

Hello RvB Mate it should tell you in the users manual as a general rule and I stand to be corrected it is usually the slot nearest the CPU for stick 1 (slot 1) of 2 sticks and slot 3 for the second stick. But my Asus Z77 (slots 2 and 4) is the opposite so check your manual - or Gigabyte if you can get any sense out of them.

I have integrated graphics. It's the "choke point" in my system. I am not clear on graphics card upgrades. This is a simple question for most of you guys. Can I go out and buy a new PCI express card and disable my integrated graphics and use this slot for a new graphics card? I am confused....sorry for the newbie question.

P.S. what does GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 mean? Is it the motherboard and integrated graphics? It is listed as "chipset" in the system specs. I thought "chipset" was the motherboard.

A:PCI E X-16 slot help me out please.

Hello again.... (less than 5 mins later...)

Ok so now that your other post has been cleared up, let me get this one for ya.

Yes integrated graphics suck. Go buy a good video card, and put it into the PCIe16 slot, and plug in your monitor. You should be good to go (though read the installation instructions that come with the card) You do not need to disable your integrated graphics, so don't worry about that. Don't worry about asking dumb questions, everyone has them. (That includes all of us "skilled" or whatever rating....)

The GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 describes your integrated graphics. That is equal to a NVidia GeForce 6 series card, which they no longer sell off their website I dont think.

I have a Latitude E6540. On the right hand side above the CD (half the size and toward the front) a opening that supports some sort of click in, click release accessory. Can someone tell me what that slot is called and what can go in it? I tried looking around and found items like PCI, WWLAN etc. But when I would look to find things that would go in the slot, they looked nothing like the slot accept.

I'm hoping this can be used for some type of flash card or drive support.

Thank you

A Friend Of mine recently brought a $135AUS 3d card only to find he does not have an AGP slot. However on the motherboard there are the pin holes for one and two screw holes to screw one in. Is it possible to install and AGP slot in there?

I just got a mobo called EliteGroup K7vta3 VIA chipset. its showed that it had a 4x agp slot. i thought i could run my newly bought Radeon x700. when i put the card in i got no video signal on my monitor. i had power going to the card an everything. i uninstalled the other video card witch was a PCI Geforce FX 5200. i switch the bios from PCI to AGP. still didnt work. i went into the BIOs an found the switch for turning it from 2x to 4x yet 4x wasnt there. was i a victum of false adverntising or is there some update to get that 4x to show?

thanks

A:AGP slot not 4x?

Welcome to TechSpot!
Are u sure the X700 is an AGP one? And what do u mean by a PCI FX5200? If u try to force ur X700 into the PCI slot it will damage the mobo. Explain more thoroughly so we can help u here.

Hi I bought a graphics card that I was pretty sure that is compatible with my pc.Here is a link for the graphics card :http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-512-P1-N...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311051376&sr=1-2

It says it requires a PCI 2.1 Slot and I know that PCI 2.1 slots came out in 1995.. My pc is a 2005, model D300a Insignia. So I'm wondering if it has a PCI 2.1 slot and if it does how do I make my card work?

What I did as my first step was-I installed it-Went to BIOS-Changed the integrated to PCI.

Any suggestions?

A:PCI 2.1 Slot

Not exactly sure what slots your motherboard has, but you should be fine as long as it has a PCI 2.0 slot. You may not get the max speed from the card, but it should operate.

If your having issues with the card aside from that, your power supply is most likely to weak to support it or you have an outdated driver. I'd first update the driver (cause that's free) and if it still does not work, I'd suspect the power supply is the problem.

I bought x gb RAM Kingston DDR non ECC etc as I have upgraded to WIN x Here is my Motherboard GIGABYTE - RAM slot seeing RAM not Motherboard - Socket - GA- GCM-S L rev I have RAM slots The first seems to be fine The second slot doesn't seem to work With both cards in only x Gb appears If I plug one card into slot one leave empty the system works If I try a single RAM stick in slot only the system fails Everything is pointing to the nd RAM slot being inactive I RAM slot not seeing RAM dont want to go to the repair shop Any chance of a magic switch or knob that needs turning etc to make both slots active UPDATE Slot doesn't respond to any of the RAM Some good news though The RAM slot not seeing RAM unmarked sticks were always Gb each So looks like slot has always been 'dead' I've never bothered to look Didn't have any reason I got the PC nd hand So is there a way to 'activate' this nd slot Anything to check or is it a lost cause

A:RAM slot not seeing RAM

As far as I know, the RAM slots on a motherboard don't come with an "enable/disable" feature. They either work or they don't. The usual method to see if a RAM slot is working is to take a known working memory module and try it in each slot. Since you've already done that I think it's a pretty good probability the slot isn't working.

Here is a free diagnostic tool that can analyze and benchmark many kinds of hardware, such as CPU performance, hard disk performance, video system information, mainboard / motherboard information, etc. It might possibly be able to verify if that slot is bad. But even if it can't confirm the slot's good/bad status, I still think you've done that. And it may only be a matter of time before the entire motherboard fails.

after much debate with myself i finally made the purchase and installed it day really didnt want to shell out the money for it but greed i think made me do it the reason i am here posting today is 1.0 slot 2.0) in pci-e GTX 280 (not not to ask for help but to give some information for others that may need it my motherboard does not have pci-e slot you can see what it is in my specs above in the link it has the pci-e x yes these cards are backwards compatible with this slot as noted on the box and on sites with info about these cards i just wanted to say it runs just fine in my setup with no overclocks on my cpu or my new gtx out of the box dmark score k so if anyone was wondering how it ran when not socketed into a board slot and in the board slot i have to say it runs pretty decent this is running faster while in the slot or should i say better than my GTX 280 in pci-e 1.0 slot (not 2.0) old gts hope this helps anyone that was interested now maybe when i get a few extra bucks ill finished my upgrades so far all ive done is upgraded the memory the psu and the gpu id like to get a new motherboard and cpu to go along with it good day nbsp GTX 280 in pci-e 1.0 slot (not 2.0)

I just bought a new computer from DELL a few weeks ago. Decided that I needed to upgrade the video card.... but now I see that there is no agp slot. Is there anything I can do, or am I just stuck with the onboard graphics?

Just purchase a new ATI AGP 9550 Radeon video board, however, this board will not fit my older ABIT BE6-ll motherboard AGP slot. I assume the AGP slots have changed and the new video board won't work, correct? The key in the motherboard slot is in a different position than the ATI. What's going on.

A:Agp Slot

Sounds like it, your old motherboard doesn't support the low AGP voltage that the newer card uses.

Hi! So I just bought a new 1 gb crucial ram for my HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7750n PC, and I can't seem to fit the RAM into the slot on the motherboard (I have to force it in, and then the pc wont boot, and gives off a beeping sound). The RAM that I brought was crucial product #CT12864AA53E (1GB 240-PIN DIMM 128Mx64 DDR2PC2-4200 UNBUFFERED) and I'm sure that it matches the 2*1 GB RAM that already came with my computer (I verified the memory specifications with HP's website and other websites) Thanks for any suggestions. I am desprate for that extra 1 GB performance, because I run really memory-eating apps!

A:RAM won't fit into slot?

It is a fairly tight fit. Were you able to lock the end tabs of the RAM slots? Don't take this the wrong way but are you inserting it in the correct orientation? The RAM has a notch that is not in the center so you have to make sure it matches up with the corresponding notch in the DIMM slot.

I am in the market for a new computer and I found a motherboard that I like. It has an ACR slot. What is that?? I have never heard of that kind of expansion slot.

Thanks Guys

Alan

A:ACR Slot

It's another riser for software-driven add-ins like modems or sound. Very similar to AMR or CNR.

The problem with ACR is that it's a VIA proprietary standard. That is, it's VIAs, and you'll never see it on anything but VIA boards, where as Intel has made its CNR standard available to everyone (including VIA).

Because of that, I think that ACR will go the way of Betamax. That is, nowhere. Those slots aren't popular as it is, and when they are used, people will be far more likely to use CNR (because it's an open standard) than ACR.

I've been offered to get a free AGP graphics card, an ATI Radeon 8500LE, and I need to find out if it will work in my computer. My computer is an HP Pavilion 531w, and I need to know how I find out if I have an AGP slot. Help?

I was recently looking at my old 486 M/B running a 486 DX-2 at 80 Mhz. (Overclocked from 66 Mhz.). I noticed that it has three brown slots almost like AGP Slots, but they were placed at the back of the ISA Slots, so I think they can't be expansion slots.What are they?

As you can see i just found the speed to be only 2x. I was planning on buying either a Radeon 9200 256mb , MSI GeForce4 MX440 (MS-8860) 128MB or a RADEON 9600SE 128mb . Which is the best deal for my small budget frame from the 3 above? Also if i happend to buy a Radeon 9800pro in the future will the 2x AGP slot be slowing the card down, therefore making it pointless to buy such an expensive card? Thanks to all in advance.

A:2x AGP slot

You wouldn't get the full wallop of a top end card so I think you would be wasting your money. Change your motherboard first. I would think if you have only a 2x agp it might be time to just build a new machine. Post the rest of your specs and someone will let you know what time it is.

My first slot is only like 2 inches long and is divided in two different slots. Is it AGP? Can I use it for a video card? I've been trying to install a ATI mach 64 pci card but everything seems to look worse. I just need 32bit true color. I'm running an older pentium III 550mHz. Thanks for the help.

My computer. Lenovo IdeaCentre K300 has a slot, about 3/4 as long as the memory slots. Does anybody know what it might be for? Because I'd sure like to fill it. I just feel a computer is not complete with empty slots.Pre-thanks to all who reply ;0)

A:What's this slot for

I'm not following. I've called up a few pics but I don't see anything other than PCIe, PCI, and DDR slots.

Okay, my AGP slot can go to 8x and so can my radeon card. But how do I set my radeon card to 8x? Cause on the SMARTGART thingy it has, there's an option only up to 4x. -_-;; How come it won't lemme choose 8x!

Okay, I was wondering how to tell if I have any available AGP or PCI slots on my computer. The current graphics 'card' is one of those integrated chips, and I wanted to get a real card. Is there any way to tell which type of slots I have? Preferably without opening up the computer, but I will if I have to.

I put a 1.5V stick into a slot where it accepts 1.35V because I did not realize it was a 1.35V slot until the computer didn't start up, which leads me to believe that one of the slots is fried, and the other is still working because I can still turn it on with just 2GB. I placed the back the original RAM, and it only detected 2GB out of 4GB.

My question is, can I use the maximum amount of RAM (8.00GB) in just one slot in the laptop and remove the other one, or will it cause further problems? What can be replaced at this point?

Hey Guys This is the follow up thread to my previous post here where I identified my graphics card was not working in the x slot only in the x x16 in GTX recognized in only slot x8 being not 660 slot I tired different methods to troubleshoot but nothing seemed to work so I basically gave up Thorsen had advised GTX 660 not being recognized in x16 slot only in x8 I purchase a Motherboard PCI-E PCI Express X Slot GTX 660 not being recognized in x16 slot only in x8 Test Card Tester which I finally did but unfortunately it did not come with a manual or any guide as to intrepret the lights being shown So here I am now asking if any can provide some insight GTX 660 not being recognized in x16 slot only in x8 as to what the card lights are telling me or any other help as to determine why my card is not working in the proper x slot It works well in the x slot in terms of games etc I haven't had any problems so far but I still would like it to be in the x slot Here are my items for reference Motherboard Graphics Card PCI tester Attached are pictures of the lights being shown Any other information needed please let me know and thank you guys Regards

I was wondering if you ever got it sorted. I will try and find something for you tonight, I'm off to work now.

I admit I do not have a good history with modules of RAM. I blew my previous motherboard because of it ( I pressed it in too hard). My dad and I were installing a stick of 512mb PC3200 RAM. We would get

one side of the ram in the slot and then the other side wouldnt stay;

we went through this several times. We ate dinner and came back, and

by this time I was really worried. I left the room to go to the

kitchen, when I came back my dad told me that he had made the clip

that attatches to the RAM fall off. I want to know if It is possible

to put it back on the RAM slot or if it is just broken.

A:Ram Slot Troubles

If you are having this much trouble, I suspect that the RAM is NOT A FIT for the slot, OR you have it turned around end for end???

Lay the chip on its side next to the slot and see if the notches line up with eachother.Different types of memory have different 'key' patterns to prevent them from being used in an incompatible slot.

As to whether or not the chip can be used without a clip to hold it in...maybe yes, maybe no. If it stays in tight, you're in luck.

The video card will work in a PCI-e 1.x slot. It also supports Flash hardware acceleration so that should help. However be aware that Adobe recommends a dual core CPU for HD playback: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/The video card's hardware acceleration may compensate for that....

I first became aware of my problem when I turned on my monitor to find a black display. As far as I know, I did not cause any physical damage to my computer (i.e. removing the card with the power on, scratching the card/slot, etc.). I tried rebooting the computer to find that the display was still black upon booting.

What I've tried:- Different monitor- Different AGP card- New power supply- Resetting CMOS

What worked:- Using a PCI graphics card instead of a AGP card

This is obviously not the solution that I would like to implement. I suppose the next step would be to buy a new motherboard. My current motherboard is an ASUS A7A266 and my preferred graphics card is an ATI All-In-Wonder 7500 AGP. Thanks.

A:AGP slot not working

bygshoe,Welcome to TSG.What Operating System are you using?Can you boot in safe mode?Here is a link to the AGP Controller Driver for your M/B.http://www.asus.com/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=A7A266

Recently bought this card from BestBuy to be installed on my current mobo. When the card is placed in the top x16 slot it is not being recognized and i'm not getting any display. When placed in the slot below it works but i'm seeing it as only x8. I checked and my current BIOS is the latest that is on the Asus website.

Can anyone help me fix this or is it a problem with the card itself?

Regards

Ravir, I followed your thread over. Did you try Britton30's advice to update the bios yet. I think you should disable the IGPU, update your Bios and try it in the first slot again.

Hello I have read several posts about this so I will explain my problem in detail I put the correct SD Card in the slot of my new Toshiba Satellite Lap Top I have used it several times before without incident I know the card works it is the right size and out get slot Card SD Cannot of I have removed it before without incident So I Cannot get SD Card out of slot clicked safely remove hardware It said the device can now be removed But when I try pressing it in it doesn t release There is no release button or little hole like on DVD drives etc I beleive the Windows operating system may have some way to keep this from releasing while it is Cannot get SD Card out of slot in use I can not access the drive right now as Windows Explorer does not show it as being there This is most likely because I requested to safely romove it Any ideas I don t feel like going to Best Buy and waiting on line for Geek Squad Thank You nbsp Cannot get SD Card out of slot

A:Cannot get SD Card out of slot

There are no ways to lock a card in the slot by the operating system, it's just stuck. Have you tried using something like tweezers to pull it out?

i saw this computer it pretty good not to mention no payments for a year, but the only thing is i dont know if it has an agp slot it has a pretty shi**y graphics card so i was planning on upgrading to an at 9600xt, but i dont know if it has an agp slot. if you find out does it have 4x or 8x, if it has 4x will i get the full experience with the 9600xt or will it hold it back because of the 4x. and one last thing, what is the power supply because i need at least 300+ to run that video card.

Basically, ive been using my desktop pc for over 2 years, and for a while, i was using the RAM that came with the PC (which was 2 x 2Gb) and then one day, i seem to have problems with my PC. Getting alot of BSOD, and computer randomly shutting down. Recently i have bought new RAM, that i have checked in my pc and works fine, but it seems like when i place it into one my RAM slots, the pc does not load. When i place it into the other RAM slot, as i only have two slots, on its own with the seeminly broken slot free, the pc starts up perfectly everytime. I dont see whats the problem as it started doing that for a while. Is my RAM slot dead, or can i change some settings in where i can use both RAM slots together?

Thanks.

A:Do i have a dead RAM slot?

Please could you state your hardware?Some PC's (like my old build) have two RAM slots for one type of RAM (DDR2) and two slots for the other (DDR3).

Hello I am currently running my RAM sticks through a Memtest86 . Right now I am testing them individually in each slot. One thing I noticed was that in Slot 1 the first test CAS read 6-6-6-20 and on Slot 3 the current test I'm running, the CAS reads 9-9-9-24 which is what Memtest86 will read if I have both sticks in at the same time.

The manual found here:http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList...x-up4_th_e.pdfstates that RAM should be installed in the DDR3_1 and DDR3_2 sockets. (page 16)Can you check if the RAM is installed in the slots listed?

Other than that make sure that they are detected properly in the BIOS and use the XMP profile.

I got a EP45-DS3l mobo and 4 gig (2 gig each) g-skill ram 1066. For some weird reason if i place the ram sticks in slots 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 i get very high stability issues. If i play a game it would freeze and go to a blue screen or sometimes it just stays there and i have to restart. If i put the sticks in slots 2 and 4 or 3 and 4 stability greatly improves and i only got a blue screen once upon exiting a game but it was probably because a huge area was rendered with a constant loading of graphics so it just was stable enough to handle it all albeit overall its very stable. Currently i have it in slots 2 and 4, but i just want to know why in the world the 1,2 or 1,3 dont work well. Perhaps slot 1 is damaged??

A:Ram slot stability

It could be a faulty slot, or it could be the ram. Is the ram exactly the same? I once had an issue "dual channeling" ram, because one of the stick's had a model number one higher then the other stick. When I contacted the company, they had to exchange that stick.
